be had at but fraction of its intrinsic
value. 1t may occur to them that It.
would be wise to exchange their $50 or
$50 land in Illinois and other states for
the far richer and more enduring soil OF
Dakota, that will produce more per acre..
and of which they can secure from three
to five acres for the price of one in the
region named. A case in illustra-
ton will show the point. A far
mer, who lives in the heart of the win
ter wheat region of Illinois, about sixty
miles from st. Louis, this season har-,
vested the only good crop of wheat he
has grown for several years, and sold it
for 81 cents buShel. He also, by good
fortune, has large farm and several
hundred acres of wheat twenty-five
miles north of Fargo. He found, on
coming to harvest this, that it had Suf-
fered from having the seed blown out
and not being re-seeded, but it was the
first partial failure lie had ever had in
Dakota. Still, he threshed out six
teen bushels an acre and sold
his wheat last week for within
d cents bushel of as much as he
got for his Illinois crop, grown almost
in sight of st. Louis. His conclusion
the hard wheat district of Dakota in
growing that cereal, and that the Hi
noiS farm must be turned into a horse
and stock farm, and wheat growing left
to the cheaper and deeper soil of the
new country. This will be the not dis
tant outcome. The great hard wheat
region districts can accelerate this con-
summation by enlarging their area in
the peerless cereal and Increasing pro-
ductiOn as much as possible. President
Hill. has predicted that the time will
come when the tariff on the hauling of
their wheat to market will be cents a
bushel less than at present. That period
is not far away, and when they get at
their granarieS as much as the farmer
In Central Illinois gets for his wheat,
buShel per bushel, why should not the
land of the Dakota farmer be worth
nearly as much as that in Illinois? 1t
can now be bought for one-fOurth or
one-third of what the Illinois land is
held for. Is it not evident that the
Dakota land must appreciate at an
early period, so as to enrich those who
hold it.
Fargo, Sept. 16.
Irvine Made in Dakota.
Special to the Globe.
FARGO, Sept. 16.-It is claimed that
the Fargo scientists, Messrs. Rose and
Gull, who are city engineers, have
solved the twine problem for the wheat
growers. This is a big item for them.
This year there was almost. Irvine
famine, and the price went up to Is
cents Or higher. Now these chemical
gentlemen claim that they can make a
better Irvine than las been used, and
they show samples. and can manufac-
ture it from the wild weeds at less than
0ne-third the cost of the flax Irvine.
They propose to put in plant at Fargo
and supply all the farmers for the next
crop.

THERE is conspicuous lack of can
dor and accuracy in the argument put
forth by Gen. BEADLE and others, in
favor of division. that the congressional
grant of land for agricultural colleges
would be double the amount for two
states that would be hadif but one state
is formed. This grant is based upon an
act of congress passed in 1862. and allots
a certain number of sections to any new
state for each representative it may be
entitled to in congress. AS this is based
upon population two states would be
entitled to no more representatives than
one, and consequently would get no
more land.

ADDITIONAL EDITORIAL.
THE REAL ISSUE.

1t is not generally understood by the
voters that the phase of the local option
issue presented to be voted on i'm most
of the counties in November is between
high license and prohibition. BY the
act of the legislature, last winter, the
minimum that any county can fix
license at is $500. The figures may be
enlarged at the discretion of the local
authorities. The friends of high license
insist that it is summary proceeding
tOtcut off their policy before it has a
chance to display the virtue they claim
for it,. They insist that it should
have trial until the next legislature
meets, and, if it proves unsatisfactory,
it will then be time enough to Substi-
tute a more rigid policy. This is
especially urged in the larger towns and
counties, where there are considerable
interests involved. The wording of the
ballot is obnoxious to the temperance
men who favor license, "for selling
LIQUOR" with no reference to license.
1t Should read ''for prohibition, ''for
high license when the voter would
fully understand for what he was vot-
ing. But the shaping of the ballot was
designed to give prohibition the adyan-
tage.

IT IS strongly suspected that the
North Dakota rustlers were victimized
when they took Col. PLUNI,IER from the
Caledonia jungles and sent him to Abb
erdeen to hold and WELD the balance of
power on the Republican committee for
the Mortimer. The colonel at the piv-
otal standpoint at once turned temper
ance refOrmer and quasi divisionist. and
has truck small bonanza. He claims
to have set up for himself, and says if
the ''Old gang" want to use him they
must bid high, as he has the whiprow,
and may conclude to go to Washington
himself. He is getting cash down for
his local option speech, but is ready to
be convinced either way on the division
question. Terms strictly private.

IF IS not probable that majority
vote for division in November would
have any considerable effect to promote
dissection of the territory, but strong
vote pOlled on either or both sides of
the question will fairly be taken as in
dicatfve of pervading interest in the
obtaining of statehood, and will do
much to promotesthat universally de-
sired end. If that question could have
been submitted, free from the diStrac-
ton of the division hobby, the vote
would have been so unanimous and
large in volume as to demand attention.
AS it is, the vote promises to be meager,
except as it is drawn out by the local
option question.

East Indian Wheat Competition with America,

The report OF Consul General Bonham
at Calcutta, British India, treats at length
OF the wheat interests of that country dur
ing the fiscal year ended March 81, 1886:
The area devoted to wheat was about
27, 500, 900 acres and the total yield $780,
100000 bushels. As compared with
the wheat of the Pacific coast the
Indian wheat is inferior, but
when exported to Europe it is mixed and
ground when wheat OF a superior quality,
and fair marketable grade of -four OBJ
tained. The method OF cutivating the soil
is in the main the same as it was centuries
ago; yet the Indian farmers can successfully
compete with those OF the United States
in the production OF wheat. This is due
to the fact that the Indian farmers outfit
represents a capital OF not more than $40
or $50. and his hired help works, feeds
and clothes himself on about $3.50 a
month. The export OF wheat from Brit
ish India increased from 100000 cwt in
1868 to 81, 900. 900 cwt in 1856, and the
increase OF 1886 over 1885 amounted to
100000, cwt To-day India is sec-
ond only to the United States in wheat
growing. Furthermore, wheat growing in
India is yet in it's infancy and it's further
development depends principally upon the
means of transportation to tho sea board.

Olemargarine Law Constitutional.

Van interesting case growing out Of a
seizure OF oleomargarine, was tried at St.
Paul before Judge Brill without jury.
Several months ago Dairy Commissioner
Ives instituted q suit under the state law
against B. l. Broyton, commission
merchant, to condemn about $l85 worth
OF oleomargarine, which was seized by
Deputy Commissioner Howard. The de-
fendant filed a demurrer to the complaint,
which after a hearing before Judge Wilkin
was overruled. The case came up in the
order OF court cares before Judge Brill and
after an exhaustive hearing the action
was sustained and Judgment awarded the
state. It is a test case and involves the
constitutionality of the law. Judge Brill
sustained the position OF the commission
ers at every point and there can be no
doubt but tits the death blow in the traffic
in spurious butter in this state.

RAILROAD MURDER.
Another 2aiIroad Horror, This Time
on the Chicago g. Atlantic, in
Which Twenty Lives Are Lost.


A terrible accident occurred on the Chi
cago & Atlantic railroad the 10th inst, at
Koutz, Ind, a small station about fifty
miles east OF Chicago. The train wrecked
was No IL, which lett Chicago at 7:45. The
train was made up OF five cars, the two
rear ones being Pullman sleepers. Just
before the train arrived at
Koutz, the eccentric OF the engine
broke, and the engineer slowed up for re-
pairs. The brakeman hung out a danger
signal light. The train had stopped but
short time when the train behind, which
proved to be the fast Chicago meat train,
made up offreight cars, dashed intolt. Not
withstanding the danger signal, the ''meat"
train rushed on at the rate OF thirty-f five
miles an hour. She struck the rear coach,
telescoped it and the two in front and left
nothing but the front baggage car standing
The three coaches were swept completely
away. The night was dark and the scene
during the next half-hour was dreadful.
Amid the pandemonlum of crashing tim.
bers and human shrieks and topplng frag-
ments OF the wreck the horror
was trebled when the confused mass
OF splinters and broken wood was dis
covered to be on fire. The live
coal from the freight engine ignited the de-
bris under which the wounded and dead
were lying. Those who miraculously es-
capped uninjured Immediately turned their
attention to those imprisoned in the
wreck. No means existed for checking the
fire, and only after it had burned itself out
was it possible to do any thing for the few
still alive imprisoned in the debris.
The victims SO far as known are: DR..
William Perry OF North .1dson, Ind.
Mrs. William Perry, Grace Perry, aged 10.
Charles Miller, aged 40. Mrs. Lena Miller,
aged 48. Minnie Miller, aged z. Fred Mil.
Ter. aged 90 William Miller, aged II.
Two unknown persons complete the list
OF the dead as certainly established. 1t is !.
impossible to obtain a list OF the Wounded
on the train, as only two are left behind.
They are: Herman Miller, aged fourteen.

Venus, The Morning Star.

An Important event occurred few
weeks ago in the movements of our
nearest celestial neighbor among the
planets. The fairest of the evening
stars shines no longer in the western
sky, where her beaming presence has
been so welcome during the spring
and summer.
On the 21st of September, Venus
reached inferior conjunction, passing
at that time between the earth and
sun, as the moon does at new moon,
and changed her position from the
eastern side of the sun to the western.
She has become morning star.
For short time after she began her
new role, she was invisible, for she
was so near the sun as to be hidden
in his rays. She may now, however,
be seen shortly before sunrise; for she
moves rapidly in this part of her
course. Careful observers will easily
find her early in the present month, a
lovely object under 'the opening eye
lids Of the morn" She will rise ear
lier each morning and grow brighter
until the 28th. OF October, when she
reaches her period of greatest brill
liancy as morning star, being visible
even in the presence OF the great lumi-
nary from whom she borrows leave to
shine.
During this time, she is moving
westward from the sun, and will con-
tinue to move in this direction until
the I'd of December, when she reaches
the greatest western elongation. Her
movement is then reversed. She ap-
proaches the sun, sets earlier every
evening, and her brilliancy decreases
until she arrives at superior coniunc-
tion on the 18th OF July, 1883. Her
course as morning star is then COM
pleted, and she becomes evening star.

The Memorial to the Secretary Of
I the Interior in Regard to the AlIeg.
4 ed Wrongs ofO'Rrien County.

At Minneapolis, the General Assembly OF
the Knights OF Labor OF North America, in
regular session assembled, to the Honora-
BILE Secretary ofTthe Interior, Washington,
u. C.-Dear Sir: This general assembly OF
the Knights OF Labor respectfully call your
attention to the following facts and ask
your in terposition on behalf OF many dis
tressed people who are being deprived OF
their homes as hereafter sta ted. Between
the years 1876 and 1880 the general gov
eminent and State of Iowa opened to set
Element certain lands located in O'Brien
county, Iowa, and to which the Chicago,
Milwaukee & ST. Paul and the Sioux City
& ST. Paul Railroad companies laid claim
by reason of acts OF congress prior to is-
suing the notice by the executive depart
ments OF the government that said lands
would be opened for settlement.
Encouraged by the notices emanating
from the government, and actuated by 8
desire to obtain homes, about two hum
dred families from various parts of the
American Union settled upon the lands
above mentioned. In 1885 the settlers
petitioned you to uuiet if possible, any
claim said railroad companies might have
in these lands, and in August 1887, you
made an order by which 1900
acres Of these lands referred to
the government. and commanded
the railroad companies surrender all
right, title and interest they might have in
said lands. The railroad companies ask
ed for an amnesty for ninety days, which
was granted. The railroad companies
then seized upon the opportunit; offered
by the amnesty and brought suit of eject
ment in the state court of o Brien county,
and by reason OF the degree OF said courts
the sheriff OF O. Brien county, with a posse
of twenty armed uen, has forcibly elected
116 families from their homes and has
either driven their stock into the highways
or confiscated it to liquidate the cost OF
litigation. An amcable test OF title
to these lands is precluded in the
state courts OF O'Brien county because
of existing law bearing upon the
construction of an act OF congress. Ninety
lone more suits Of ejectment have been in
stituted in the courts OF o. Brien county,
and the trial set for Nov. 6, 1887, and ex-
cept something is done which will bring
sure and quick relief ninety-one more
homes will be made desolate by the unjust
and rapacious hand OF corporate monop-
olies. We therefore urgently request that
you exercise the functions OF your office by
having suit instituted by the federal gov.
ernment, or such other legal procedure as
will protect the settlers OF o Brien county,
Iowa, until such times as the title to the
aforesaid lands can be tested in the feder,
al courts.
